beccaelizabethYou ever read something and get stuck on 'but x doesn't work like that'
even though magic is involved?
Yesterday it was 'but horses don't work like that'.
And I think I got stuck because if the writer clearly demonstrates they know the usual limits and then has the characters fly over them, fair enough, that is magic, no problems.
But if the writer just does a thing and you're left wondering if they know that would take magic...
well.
But then I don't know much about horses and ended up googling to see if my first thought was true
and found out of course everything is complicated and some horse somewhere maybe might
but.
I have no idea how your magic bit works so it can work however it likes.
But I'm going to have opinions about horses.
